Scientists think a little differently than most people in their quest to put together a realistic, accurate picture of the universe and how it works. Do you think like a scientist? Can you handle the truth?

Boosted by natural magnifying lenses in space, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured unique close-up views of the universe's brightest infrared galaxies, which are as much as 10,000 times more luminous than our Milky Way.

Major experiments that will look into the human body and out into the galaxy are on their way to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft following its 5:07 p.m. EDT launch aboard a Falcon 9 rocket.

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory has made a third detection of gravitational waves, ripples in space and time, demonstrating that a new window in astronomy has been firmly opened.

Physicists working with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory have spotted a third merger of black holes, the ultra-intense gravitational fields left behind when massive stars collapse.

A new study may help reveal the nature of dark energy, the mysterious substance that is pushing the universe to expand outward. Dark energy may emerge from fluctuations in the nothingness of empty space, a new hypothesis suggests.

More than 700 volunteer citizen scientists have helped identify more than 30,000 celestial objects, including a star explosion that occurred 970 million years ago, hundreds of millions of years before dinosaurs emerged on Earth.

A special episode of the Science Channel show Space's Deepest Secrets will probe the origins of mysterious radio bursts in the sky and other phenomena that beg celestial explanation, such as a distant star that exhibits mysterious dimming, which occurred again just a few days ago .
